Psalm 120

Deliver Me from Lying Lips

1In my distress I called to the LORD,
and the LORD answered me. 2O LORD, deliver my soul
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue. 3What shall be given to you,
and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue? 4Sharp arrows of a warrior,
with glowing coals of broom wood.

I Am for Peace

5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6Too long has my soul dwelt
with those who hate peace. 7I am for peace;
but when I speak,
they are for war.
